In the 036 IPL there's this list of versions of this saw:
(1) 036, (2) 036 W, (3) 036 WVH, (4) 036 PRO, (5) 036 Arctic, (6) 036 BR
I looked up the suffixes, found this list among others:

"-W" is for heated handle and "-V" for heated carb if I'm not mistaken, but what does the "-H" mean?
'PRO' is mainly a marketing label iirc, could mean it has an adjustable oiler etc. But what is the difference between the 'Arctic' and the heated handle/carb versions? Seems like it has another rim sprocket and needle bearing, and another carb (the C3-S52).
-BR should stand for quick chain adjustment and wrap handle. Is this correct, and is there a specific reason this version was released with another cylinder/piston assy (1125 020 1206 in stead of 1125 020 1215), and was released without decomp valve? Seems like it was released without Elastostart too...
I bought an old 034 with a worn out cylinder and was looking into 48 mm (61cc) replacement options. Probably gonna buy a Meteor but who knows I find some NOS oem parts.
I did find a oem p/c assy with serial number 1125 020 1202, NOS, wonder if it would fit?
Thx in advance for any feedback.
